Chapter 38: Corn Muffin On Fire
Zane
There are in this world men and women with consciences as clean as early morning snow. There are people for whom the path to the present gleams with a buffed sheen, who have no regrets to grimace at, no black missteps, no contumely, no greed, no violence, no cruelty to spend their days not thinking about. There are people like that, but they are not many, and most of us are not among them. Despite the indelibility of his id and ego, Miles Willis Charlesburn Cooper, Jr. is not among them.
